Andy Martin –
Anverdi’s Surprise Box is one of his finest creations. It came in a number of versions, also built by various dealers other than Anverdi. This fine version was sold by Mephisto-Huis and I believe it was built by them too. However, it might have been made by Anverdi and just sold by Mephisto-Huis, since it is almost identical to the version that appears in the Anverdi book. Also it looks quite different from the one that I do believe was built by Mephisto-Huis here. The cards that came with it were in fact made in Belgium (the home of Mephisto-Huis), but I replaced them with Bicycles for your performing pleasure 🙂 Also, the Anverdi book was in fact published by Mephisto-Huis so maybe they used some of their creations for the photos. Without any other input I am going to assume this was actually built by Mephisto-Huis, but if you have any more information let me know.
Either way it came with a clear lid which was a nice touch. The opaque lid version can be seen here.
In the ads that ran with this they say you can deal out from 2-50 cards. In my tests things become less reliable after about 25-30 cards. It can work but it is much more reliable before 25. It is easy enough to ensure that happens so I don’t consider this an issue.
This version is very reliable and as long as the batteries are fresh and you don’t add too many cards works cleanly every time.
